Did you know it is an offence to not pick up your dog’s faeces in a public area.

It is important to pick up your dog's poo for several reasons:

1. Hygiene: Dog waste contains harmful bacteria and parasites that can be harmful to humans and other animals. By picking up your dog's poo, you help prevent the spread of these bacteria and parasites.

2. Environmental impact: Dog waste contains nutrients that can contribute to water pollution when it is left on the ground. By picking up your dog's poo, you help protect the environment and maintain the cleanliness of public spaces.

3. Consideration for others: Not picking up your dog's poo can be unpleasant for other people who may step in it or have to deal with the smell. By picking up after your dog, you show consideration for others and help create a more pleasant environment for everyone.

Remember, it is a responsible pet owner's duty to clean up after their dog.

Sammy-Joe came to see us for prophylaxis dental treatment last week. By having a routine scale and polish the teeth have been preserved with no need for extractions. If these teeth had been left they would potentially cause gum disease, infections in the mouth or other health problems.

Book in for your free of charge nurse dental check if you have any concerns regarding your pets teeth!

Meet Willow and Sooty. They were rescued by a lovely lady at 4 weeks old who tirelessly hand reared them. They were covered in fleas, had a heavy wormed burden and at times it was touch and go as to whether they would survive. But with plenty of tlc, many weeks of night feeding them every 4 hours it is so amazing to see them both in the best of health having just finished their vaccination course. We can’t wait to have more cuddles when they come back for neutering 😻😻

Beautiful Bella has lost two kilograms on a weight loss journey with Wakefield Vets4Pets – and owner Hayley says she's much more active, playful and affectionate as a result. "She just seems generally less grumpy as well – she probably felt how we do when we've overindulged!"

When Bella came in for her booster vaccination a year ago the team noted that she was overweight and would need to slim down to help her live a long and happy life. Since then the three-year-old house cat has been put on a special diet and she's now lost a third of her weight. Hayley said: "We're incredibly grateful to the team at Vets for Pets. They've given us some great advice and tips to keep the weight down. They are so approachable and we've never felt judged by them."

Head veterinary nurse Jess said: "Bella has been on her weight loss journey for over a year now and she's seen once a month for basically Waggy Weightwatchers as we call it. The owners have stuck with the plan very well and took note of everything we have told them, which is great. A 2kg loss is quite a substantial loss for a cat, so she's done really well."

Ten-month-old Filemon is on the mend after he fell behind a wardrobe and fractured one of his front legs in three places.

He was taken to the specialist orthopaedic team at Vets4Pets Cross Hands in Llanelli by his owners Kasia and Andrzej where he had surgery to repair the bone with implants. The main recovery barriers for Filemon were possible nerve damage, and keeping him quiet long enough to give his bone and wound time to heal – which veterinary nurse Rebecca says is no easy task for a cat owner. She said: "Thankfully, with the help of his diligent owner and plenty of the right medication, Filemon is recovering well and has full range of motion in his leg."

Kasia said: "We'd like to say a massive thank you to the Vets for Pets team for doing an amazing job to get Filemon back on his four legs! After surgery Filemon was in a crate for six weeks which wasn't easy for him being such a young and playful kitten. It's now been two months since the surgery and he's recovering really well. He's enjoying himself again just like before the accident."

Meet Jimmy, thanks to his microchip, he was reunited with his family after 2 years!

In 2021, Jimmy was suspected to be involved in a road traffic accident in which his owners were told he didn't make it. After straying for 2 years, a member of the public brought him into Doncaster Vets4Pets where our team scanned him for a microchip. After a quick call to his owners, our team were able to reunite him with his owners. We do love a happy ending💚

Storm visited Preston Capitol Vets4Pets after she got a stick stuck up her nose on a walk. The team used an otoscope to help find the stick inside her nasal passage. After using general anaesthetic, they used forceps to pull our the stick that was tightly wedged. After the removal, Storm was back to her usual happy self 💚

Cookie visited Vets4Pets Harlow after her owner noticed her eyes had become cloudy and sore. Luckily, her owner had seen this before and knew she had to act quickly. Cookie had suffered from hay pokes, where bits of hay can scratch or pierce the eye. After being put under local anaesthetic, the team were able to remove the tiny pieces of hay and get Cookie feeling a lot more comfortable.

Well done to Cookie's owner, our team, and of course, Cookie💚

Meet Dexi, she visited Northampton Vets for Pets after she started retching and becoming restless. She was admitted for an x-ray which showed her stomach was twisted which can be life threatening. After emergency surgery, to untwist and stitch it back to the wall of her body, she was back to her normal self. Well done Dexi and team👏💚
